Is a teacher allowed to bring down your grade because you forgot a book or a packet that you need for that class?

It depends on your school's critearia. For example in my school if you forget something you need it's either off class participation or homework grades. Many school do take some points off but you really can't lower it a whole grade unless you forget things a lot. So look in your school's handbook. I hope I helped! ♥ good luck

is it better to do crunches all at the same time, but like do 20 crunches then do 20 crunches and so on.. or do it throughout the day? i do my crunches at the same time and do about 60 crunches, but i rest in between about a minute

Actually it doesn't make a difference (or so I heard). It all depends on what you are trying to accomplish. But for the most part it doesn't matter. I hope I helped! ♥ good luck

Hey. I'm a cashier at a store thats like Linens and Things. Its my first job (i'm sixteen) and I've realized that its not the kind of job I want. I don't like the fact that its a big place and its busy allll the time. I enjoy interacting with my co workers. At my place, I feel like I can't do that. We're all busy helping out the customers, which is good... but I feel like I don't know the people I work with well. What are some good places to work at, where you're working...but you still have opportunities to get to know your co-workers? Preferably not a fast food restaraunt, a grocery store, or big places. I want something small and fun. I was thinking about working at a tanning salon?? Does anyone have any good ideas?

The tanning salon is a great idea. Try working in a small store in your mall. That way you can know your co-workers better and still get a good pay. So I think these two ideas are the best for you. I hope I helped! ♥ good luck

hey im just wondering, if u cut is it like wrong.. is it that big of a deal.. if its not for attention it just helps you deal with yourself then does it matter? do you need help if you do cut?

Yes cutting is wrong. You can kill yourself. Losing all that blood is harmful. Also you are more prone (sp?) to infections because you are getting a cut in your body and not treating it. This lets bactria get into your body. And you may not think it's for attention but it actually is you just can't tell. It's some whole psygological thing. If you cut get help fast, cutting can lead to death. I hope I helped! ♥ good luck

I'm a thirteen year old female. Recently Iv'e started eating super healthy. When I'm at home eating the food there, or eating foods with nutrition information I'm fine, but whenever I eat at someone else's house or eat out and the food served looks fattening or sugary I panic. I don't know whats in it and so on. Sometimes I make up excuses for not eating things. My friends jokingly said I was anorexic before. That didn't bother me. However, now they have started to say it seriously and my own mum said I was eating in an anorexic way. I know people suffering from anorexia have poor self image, but I think I am at a perfect weight. Please tell me if I am anorexic or not. Honestly.

Honestly no. Or at least I don't think so. You should eat wherever you go but you should eat healthy. There is nothing wrong with that. Tell your friends and family to stop calling you anorexic. If you are still realy worried ask your parents to bring you to a doctor and let him check you out. I hope I helped! ♥ good luck

Can someone please explain to me what carbs and calories are and the difference between them?

Carb is short for CARBohydrates (sp?). Or as you know it the bottom of the food pyramid. It used to be know you should have the most servings of that; however, reseachers are discovering you should have less. A calorie is a measurment for the amout of energy your body takes in (well sorta). Most people have a 2,000-2,500 calorie a day diet. I hope I helped! ♥ good luck

my boyfriend said something really mean to me about the way i look earlier today on the phone. i hung up on him and he keeps calling back and i wont answer. he left a message saying "if you ever stop being mad at me call me, ill understand if you dont though" i want to call him back...what should i say?

Just ask him why he said that. Make sure you find out what he meant. I know what I am about to say will sound like something the really annoying columnists will say but oh well. If he says he meant it act really mad and listen to him blather about how sorry he is. You may get a gift out of it. I'm sorry I just had to say it. Fogive me. But I strongly suggest taking my first piece of advice and if you want take the second.

me and my bf have been going out for 5-ish weeks now and we're both pretty easy going people. But we haven't ever fought about anything and we spend SOOOO much time together. Is that bad?

No. If you never fight that's obviously a good thing. If you don't really like each other and you just stay together to say you have a bf/gf yeah that's bad. All people are different and you're lucky wnough to find someone you don't fight with. Be happy. I hope I helped! ♥ good luck

I really didn't know what category to but this under but here is the question does anyone have any GOOD fundraising ideas to help raise money for the American Cancer Society? Thanks for all your help I need as many ideas as I can get.

The livestrong bands are really popular. Sell some kind of bracelt. Bracelts are one of the best ways to fundraise for a disease. Also try a bake sale. I hope I helped! ♥ good luck

Theres a guy I like and he has a gf and he seems really happy. I wanna be happy for him because hes one of my best friends, but...I cant because I have a crush on him. And I just found out he has a gf and Im really sad, and im getting all teary eyed right now. I want to tell him that I like him but i dont want to interfear or anything. please help me get over him or at least help me to tell him...

Almost everyone goes through this. When I did it was hard for the first few days. But sit back and think. Would I rather see him happy with her or ruin their relationship? The answer is probably the first one. Next off you should tell him that he'll always have you as a shoulder to lean on. If he wants to expand on that tell him you like him. Don't worry you will get over him some day. I hope I helped! ♥ good luck

hey my name is nicole u dont know me and i need adivce well there's 2 boys and 1 of them like me and i odnt kno if the other 1 does or not i mean everytime i see him i like him more and more then the othe boy but i dont know how to find out if he likes me without asking him if he likes me i mean he flirts with me alot but i talk to the other 1 more but i just dont kno wut to do can u please help me

Do you know me? Anyway that's not the point just a comment. Now to your question get a friend to ask him who he likes. If its you ask him to hang out sometime. If he doesn't don't feel bad. Most people take chances with people they didn't like at first but asked them anyway. So, maybe he's one of those people. I hope I helped! ♥ good luck

If a guy touches your arm a lot as hes talking to you, is this a good sign?

Yes. He is interested in you!

In my school people get picked on school temas basically because they are friends with the coach. they could be not as good as one person but if they know the coach they will still make it. well i dont know the coach and im trying out for basketball but i dont know if i should because they probally wont pick me cause i dont know the coach cause im ok at basketball im not the best but im not bad (sorry if this is confusing) my question is though should i try out or not?

You should deffinately try-out. Who knows, you could make it. And many times it's not exactly that you know the coach and boom you're on the team. It could be the coach knows how good the player is because they have seen that person play before. Don't get discouraged just do the best you can. I hope I helped! ♥ good luck
P.S. tell me how it goes!

There's a 'rock event' (like a disco but with rock music) that goes on in my town every month or so, and most of my mates go to it. Out of the seven of us, five go (I don't). This place has a really bad rep. and most people who go there drink, smoke and do drugs, but of course my friends parents have NO IDEA about this. All of my five friends who go have gotten into smoking, and two of them are serious binge drinkers. One guy I know but am not great friends with also goes to this place and has gotten into illegal drugs, as has one girl I was kinda 'hi in the hallway' friends with, and she got expelled and charged by the police for it. Now my problem is, I will NOT stand by and watch my friends slowly kill themselves with a load of alcohol, drugs and cigarettes, but how can I stop them? I can't say anything about how dangerous it is because that's like preaching and they know the dangers but don't care. I am thinking of breaking friends with them...three of them are moving into my house in a couple of months and I have told the two of them moving in with me that smoke and drink that they can forget moving in if they think they can smoke in my house and they just laughed. I don't want to preach and I know if they don't want to stop I can't make them...but what do you think I should do? I am NOT standing by and watching them die. There's also the added problem that I am extremely asthmatic and being in a house with smokers would (I've checked this with a doctor) kill me within a month, but my friends won't listen to this either. I love them all loads but I am not putting up with this any more and I am not putting my life on the line because they are too selfish to stop smoking. CAN I make them see sense? Or should I just break friends and move on?
Thanks!!

Get them to rehab (sp?) as soon as possible. If need be LIE! Tell them you are going somewhere and take them to a center that can help them. How old are you? If you are an age that needs parental suporvision get your parents to help. If they smoke in your house you may not like this but kick them out. You seriously need to just talk to them and tell them straght up theey can't smoke in your house. Show them this question and all the answers you get (except the sarcastic ones). Get them help. I hope I helped! ♥ good luck

what's the difference between a pimple and a tumor? sorry, stupid question but i have a pimple in my nose and i need to know if i'm gonna die. thanks... i rate good.

Ok, you're not going to die. The tumor that causes death is a brain tumor. I tumor Is like a small ball, usually of fat, around your body. A pimple comes from puberty or sweat. A tumor kinda just comes. You have nothing to worry about unless that fat is in your brain then there is a chance you will die. But I highly doubt that. I hope I helped! ♥ good luck

Okay, well there is this really really cute dog that i guess lives in our neighborhood...but apparently his owners dont care about him..i mean the dog is ALWAYS walking the streets..my dad has even seen him on the highway...well today the dog was in my yard so i went out to pet it...and well that was a mistake cuz now im in love with it..(im a REAL animal person!) and i want to keep it...but I have a few problems...
1. My mom will say no immediately and she'll say im not responsible enough (im 14) and that i dont take care of my 1st dog(which is a lie cuz its not MY dog its OUR dog)and she'll mention that i cant keep my room clean (which IS kinda true)
2. The dog has a coller on it..but i really dont think its owners want it because its always roaming around...
I want the dog soo bad because id hate to see it in the middle of the road somewhere...its so cute...but i cant convince my mom to atleast give me a chance to prove her wrong...can ANYONE help me with convincing my mom and the fact that the dog has a coller??

You have to talk to your mom about how good you'll take care of it. Try taking a lot of responsibilty with the dog your family already has. Once your mom seeshow good you are doing try asking her again. However, before you claim the dog yours contact the owners to make sure they don't want it. And if your mom says no and the owner doesn't want it bring it to an animal shelter. I hope I helped! ♥ good luck
